Broncos’ Von Miller Suspended Six Games For Violating NFL Drug Policy

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is suspended for the first six games of the upcoming football season after violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, according to a report from USA Today.

Miller’s suspension was handed down not because of a positive test, but due to “spilled and diluted urine samples” following his test. Miller previously tested positive for marijuana as a rookie in 2011.

The punishment for the young, two-time Pro Bowler has spurred many reactions from the organization, including Broncos legend and current vice president of football operations, John Elway.

“We’re frustrated with what’s happened, disappointed in Von,” Elway said. “But I think the way I’ve looked at this, and will continue to look at this, is the decision that’s come down – we live with that decision. And what I’d like to do is whatever we have to do to prevent any other situations. Whatever we have to do as an organization to try and help Von, we want to be able to do.”
